All eyes on Sen. Joel Villanueva as he confirms attendance at tomorrow’s special session.
Will he stick with that toxic, sinking ship or finally jump to the majority to put Alan Peter Cayetano out of his misery?
Alan keeps desperately whining on his Facebook Live broadcasts that he hasn’t been officially ousted yet.
He clings to the technicality that it takes 13 votes to elect a new Senate President.
And he's technically right: under Article VI, Section 16 of the Constitution, installing a new leader requires 13 votes of ALL members, not just a physical quorum.
Since the Gatchalian bloc is currently stuck at 12, Joel Villanueva’s entry makes him the ultimate, decisive 13th vote to legally shut down Alan’s pathetic Facebook live-selling sessions once and for all!
Pack your bags and vacate the post, Senator!
Everyone is completely sick and tired of your embarrassing online clearance sale.
Only the DDS die-hard trolls lang naman ang nanonood.
Otherwise, absolutely nobody is buying what you're selling! 💥🙄
@PhilippineStar Yes, the victims need cash but they need more strong foundation, not just in infrastructure but a strong Senate foundation built on integrity and accountability.
@PhilippineStar Pwede bang gumawa na lang sila ng island. Yung makamarcos at duterte, dun sila sa mag-away-away.
Yung mga walang pinapanigan na kulay at pawang katotohanan lang, manatili sa Pilipinas.
@PhilippineStar The legislative branch lacks the credibility and moral authority to lead this investigation. It makes little difference whether the majority or minority takes charge.
Should the Ombudsman, COA, or DOJ lead the investigation instead of relying primarily on congressional hearings?
@YDioxide This is what you called organic. Unpaid na ralista, walang sponsor para magpaprint ng tarpaulin. Tanging sandata lang nila ay pluma at papel para isulat ang kanilang nadarama at umaasang pakinggan ng mga nasa katungkulan.
Bakit tayo nag-NO sa Anti-Political Dynasty Bill? Dahil ang totoo, ito ay isang Pro-Dynasty Bill.
Under this measure, one clan can hold positions across multiple levels of government. Therefore, concentration of power still remains in the hands of a few families. Kung sila ang mga nakaupo sa taas, at sila rin ang mga nakaupo sa baba,
pwede pa ring magkampihan, magtulungan, at mag-protektahan.
Pwede pa ring magbaba ng kontrata at proyekto ang isang Senador at isang Congressman para sa kapatid nilang Governor. Pwede pa ring gamitin ng isang Governor ang kapitolyo para harangin at ipitin ang kalaban ng mga anak niyang tumatakbong Mayor sa magkatabing siyudad. At pwede pa ring gamitin ng isang Pangulo ang buong puwersa ng gobyerno para pagtakpan ang mga anomalya ng pinsan niyang Kongresista.
Hindi rin sakop ng panukala ang party-list. Kaya maaari pa ring maging District Representative si mister, habang si misis naman ay nakaupo sa tabi niya bilang Party-list Representative.
Ang tanong: Nasaan ang pagbabago? Hindi nito winawakasan ang paghahari ng mga dinastiya, kundi ginawa pa itong legal at bahagi ng sistema.
